Talk:Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary

Page move?
This article is more about the SKIP system than the Kodansha dictionary, excepting the first sentence and Reference. Should it be revised and moved to a new article about SKIP? Keahapana 18:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary.gif
Image:Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

article name is inappropriate: please change
This article should be named "SKIP (Kanji indexing)" or the like and the commercial product "Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary" should link to it (if indeed that is appropriate rather than using an External Lin to the Halpern web site.

I say this because SKIP numbers occur now at so many web sites, in so many software tools and elsewhere on which there is no mention of "Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary" or the author, Halpern.

SKIP is either of interest sufficient to justify an article ( I would say it is ) or, if it is not, I see no justification for an article on a dictionary currently for sale by a living author.

Wikipedia should not be an alternative to reviews of books in this category: such reviews abound. If SKIP is under copyright and could not, in fact,be used by another author of another dictionary, we should give some thought to promoting that dictionary on this wiki.

No English index ! Not even on-line or as PDF or as an app.

missing External Links
System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns SKIP

is how this method is named at Kanji.org but I am now concerned that site is, in fact, KodanshaUSA.com which is a business.

Both of these URL's belong in External Links if we retain this article on SKIP.

Was this article created by the publisher?
